Somebody buy this!!!

Should be a tag on the drivers side lower corner of the dash,visible through the windshield...there usually is a tag on the door itself or the jamb,and one in the glove box with a VIN on it too,but those can be changed too easily to bolting on a different door or glove box and peeling off the one on the jamb...the tag is harder to mess with,and its felonious to try altering or swapping one...the original rivets are special hex headed ones ...but those can be had from various sources too..
 
There was no VIN on dash... only door jam.. I think I was wrong about it being a D60 up front, not sure...also the frame job seemed weird. Well here are some more pics.

If its the truck build I found, the frame will be welded together in front of the rear axle front spring mount. Possibly with a additional fish plate. Definitely a "parts bin" truck. Not a horrible thing, but so like my stuff unmolested.
 
I'm fairly sure a VIN starting with "CC" is a 2wd,a "CK" would be a 4x4..those rivets look non original too...
 
I forget who makes that knuckle but its expensive! And it looks like they just took a 1/2 ton short bed frame section and welded it inside the one ton frame section! Thats scary looking.
 
Ah yes, ORU.

Yea the little frame inside the big frame is scary. So a 10 bilt up front with 8 lug conversion. Maybe I should offer him two grand for it......

Sounds about right. I'd be interested in title/registration history, I find it pretty hard to believe that the California authorities wouldn't have a problem with that truck one way or another. I've seen more than a few vehicles dumped with sketchy inspection/title issues that became too much trouble to keep legal. I'd also be wary of driving that thing, it seems to have a mix of good parts and redneck engineering shortcuts.
